Portrait of a Man with Glasses 1977

Jay Moon's 1977 etching, "Portrait of a Man with Glasses," showcases the artist's signature style of layered textures and blurred lines. The subject, a man with glasses, stares intensely at the viewer, his features partially obscured by the use of stippling and hatching techniques, giving the work a sense of mystery and depth. The addition of a small figure seemingly perched atop the man's head adds a surreal touch to the composition, inviting viewers to interpret its symbolism. Moon's work, known for its introspective and often melancholic tone, offers a glimpse into the human condition through this enigmatic portrait.
